Judges 18:30
30 The sons of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of [p]Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.
Notice that the tribe of Dan worshipped idols for hundreds of years, and this is very likely why they are absent from Revelation 7. May I propose that this is also the reason why the USA is not mentioned in the Bible? We are too busy worshipping self and mammon! We are too busy killing millions of unborn who bear the image of God on the altar of convenience! We are too busy acting like Sodom and Gomorrah, and people in Judges 19!
I honestly believe through a period of genuine repentance, that we can stay the judgement of God for a time, and not be absorbed into the power of Gog and Magog that fight against the power of the almighty. If we continue to disobey, however, the nation will be destroyed before our very eyes.
Very interesting — I think we (the USA) may actually be alluded to in the Gog/Magog prophecy in Ezekiel 38:13 as one of the “young lions” who sits idly by rather than coming to Israel’s aid. If the captivity referred to above in Judges 18:30 is in fact the Assyrian captivity (722BC) — which I know of no reason to doubt — it places the authorship of Judges after the exile of the ten northern tribes. I wonder who wrote it and under what circumstances and using what source material… Any thoughts? This is all of course a side-bar to your larger point, which is quite compelling. Have you heard of Jonathan Cahn? He wrote a book recently called “The Harbinger” which sold quite well. I’ve heard him speak on youtube talking about similar things that you said above. He applies Isaiah 9:10 to the U.S. with the rebuilding of the financial center in NYC…
